Rumor: Pacific teams interested in Chiasson

[cheechoo]

You have a funny definition of dominant considering most of them are negative REL players despite not seeing tough matchups. There’s a lot of reasons your team is having a good season but it aint guys like Hathaway.

Mangiapane? Sure, young, decent start, I get it. Czarnik and Hathaway are replacement level guys and not much more.

Now I just hope you guys give up something stupid like Dube for him just to watch your heads explode.

Stat watchers. ew

No you want someone like Dube for him so you can get a fourth non-replacement level forward to add to your top 6

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Czarnik ... replacement level guys and not much more.

If you think Czarnik is replacement level you're guilty of hockeyDB scouting.

Czarnik was among the most sought after free agents in the league.. 22 teams wanted in on him and Calgary signed him to a two year deal even though he didn't have a season of NHL time on his resume. He has absurdly nice underlying numbers, has goals in 3 of his last 4 games and was a Ryan Miller SOTY away from goals in 4 straight games. He's absurdly fast. Has a ton of skill. His forechecking is exactly the kind of play that gets teams deep into the playoffs.

Funny how it did nothing for Chiasson last time he was here.



In 91:30 of penalty kill time, Garnet Hathaway has a -4 goal differential on the PK.
In 34:40 of penalty kill time, Alex Chiasson has a -5 goal differential on the PK.

Hmm.

I’m sure defencemen like Giordano have nothing to do with that, either.

I didn’t say a word about Chiasson’s PK ability. Don’t put words in my mouth .

Thin skinned group, aren’t you? I’m getting six responses for every one I have time to type.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

Is Edmonton going to trade him? Bin Stauffer said that the Oilers might not trade him due to injuries & lack of forward depth.

The rumoured price for Chiasson was 2nd round pick or a prospect.

That sounds like the "Buy now" price on Chiasson I'm sure the bids will be lower, I'll happy if we get a 3rd round pick for him. I think there is a small chance we get a 3rd round pick and something like a 6th round pick as a potential tie-breaker if we can get a couple teams interested in giving up a 3rd round pick for him.

We just prefer to correct non-facts with facts.

 

[Rubi]

One correction.

They let Chiasson walk as an RFA. He wasn't qualified even though the team had team control.

You right! I forgot that the Flames thought so little of Chiasson that they weren't even interested in giving him a qualifying offer.
In no way can I ever imagine Treliving giving up a draft pick at any level, for Chiasson today. Frankly I'm surprised that with the AHL roster that the Oilers field that they are even considering trading him. He's not good enough to play for the Flames but he's certainly better than half of the Oilers players.

They wanted him because he’s dirt cheap and didn’t cost anything more than a contract spot. He’s 26 and has 10 NHL goals to his CAREER. Holy moly you’re usually bad (Kylington > Nurse, anyone) but pumping the tires of a very mediocre forward is something even for you.

You prefer virtual fellatio over any kind of criticism and attack en masse over any perceived slights. You’ve got one poster in this thread not conducting himself like a child.

 

[ThePlanet]

Please not San Jose. He would be much further down the depth chart, and because of this, I doubt he would be anywhere near as effective as he has been with Edmonton. If the asking price is even close to a 2nd, that would be another cause to politely decline.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Why would a team that just wants a guy because he's cheap send their coach to meet him personally at his home?

They wanted him because he had all the signs of a late career breakout player like Marchessault, Gourde, St. Louis.

He struggled as a Flame early because we kept putting him on the shutdown line with Backlund. Now that we've put him on a scoring line he's so often one of our most impactful players. I wouldn't even trade him for RNH tbqh.

Holy moly you’re usually bad (Kylington > Nurse, anyone)

Yikes, that was bad.

Kylington >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nurse.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

I could see Russell and Chiasson to Calgary for two 2nd's or a first.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

Bigger forward with playoff experience.

There will certainly be a market for him but I doubt we get the rumored asking price of a 2nd + prospect.

 

[OilerFan4Life]

LOL.

Why would Calgary do this?

 

[Rubi]

 

[Clayonator]

I would extend him for a year

that is clearly ridiculous. It's more like a 4th rounder. Perhaps a 3rd if the seller's market is just that strong, and even then maybe we send them something else

They did that with Marty St. Louis as well

Yikes, that was bad.

Kylington >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nurse.

I’d imagine you’re sorely disappointed if you thought you were getting the next Marchesseault. Dude has 9 points as a 26 year old on an excellent team. If you wouldn’t trade him for RNH then you’ve lost what little sense you had left.

Nurse >>> every defenceman you have not named Giordano.

 

[super6646]

They did that with Marty St. Louis as well

LOL because those two are comparable.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

You let Martin St. Louis go for nothing. Maybe you don't need Chiasson, but that's not a good argument.

Brad Treliving did not let MSL go for nothing. He did let Byron go for nothing and probably regrets that because he thought he could sneak Byron through waivers and got burned hard on a player everyone with a brain loved.

Brad Treliving did let Chiasson go for nothing. And when Chiasson was available this offseason for a 650k cap hit, he said "No Thanks, I would rather spend 1.25M on Austin Czarnik and 800k on Dalton Prout"

 

[cheechoo]

Nurse >>> every defenceman you have not named Giordano.

Oh yikes... I think you should stop here not only because you're going way off tangent, but also because... yikes

6M for an above average skater who has a top 6 skillset and is a LHS

vs

1.25M for a burner who has a top 6 skillset and is a RHS

easy choice. RNH is a good player but propped up by his role on a shallow team.

Nurse >>> every defenceman you have not named Giordano.

This is such a brutal take. Nurse would be our #5LHD behind Giordano, Hanifin, Kylington, Valimaki. And we would play TJ Brodie over him too if push came to shove. Even though Brodie is a RD. Hamonic and Andersson are also better options.

But that's why you're pushing dead last in the standings and we're cruising along trying to edge out the Sharks.

What a way to lose credibility.

Wow... you Oiler fans really do live in a dream world. Expecting to trade back to the Flames two Flames castoffs for a couple of 2nds or a 1st.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Maybe he meant at fighting.

Though Prout could take Nurse.
